Local guides list AED 125 (≈ $34) for an adult on weekdays and AED 200 (≈ $54) on weekends and public holidays. Children pay less, and toddlers get in free. Confirm the price when you book.

What is included in the Mamsha Beach ticket?

A lounger and an umbrella. Food and drinks are extra, ordered from the café to your lounger.

Is Mamsha Beach good for children?

It works for families: toddlers get in free, children pay a lower rate, and swimming is in a 400-meter zone. There is no pool.

Can I rent paddleboards or other equipment at Mamsha Beach?

We haven't found rental at the beach since the 2024 renovation. Ask at the entrance, or check with the hotels on Saadiyat.

In short

Mamsha Beach Saadiyat is the beach that used to be called Soul Beach, on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi: the same place under a new name. Soul Beach closed for renovation in July 2024 and reopened in November 2024, and it now goes by Mamsha Beach Saadiyat. Maps, booking sites and reviews still use both names, so if you're searching for Soul Beach Saadiyat, this is it.

The beach runs along the Mamsha Al Saadiyat waterfront, a residential and dining promenade near the Louvre Abu Dhabi. It is 1.2 km long, with a 400-meter swimming zone and 400 loungers under umbrellas. Since the renovation, entry is a day ticket rather than a minimum spend.
